July 17/04 Click Here for article from Sea Magazine on the San Diego Cheoy Lee Rendezvous
This evening, I was trying to search for
the meaning of my name. It has been 25 years since
I got this
interest to know what the real meaning of Cheoy Lee.
But when I was younger my father already told me that it was a yacht
name. Then I came to know that you guys made a site
cheoyleeassociation.com, I was so happy
knowing that my name appeared on that site, glad to know u guys!.
Anyhow, i just want to thank you!... at
least I got the idea of what Cheoy Lee
really means... Keep in touch!

2/4/00 My husband and I bought a CL Offshore 41 last summer.
The deal included an aluminum main mast, which we are just now
getting around to fitting. We would like to offer the
original (1978) wooden mast for sale if someone could use it.
It's in okay shape, but needs a little TLC. Susan & Ken FitzGerald "Endless Summers" Seattle ken@evanshamilton.com |

Monday,
January 10, 2000 email from Andy Laurence Shipyard row may delay Disney STELLA LEE Officials have been unable to carry out proper environmental checks at a Lantau shipyard, raising doubts whether Disneyland can be finished on time. Because of a legal battle, officials can conduct visual checks at the Penny's Bay site but cannot test for contamination. Disneyland - and other projects planned for north Lantau - must pass environmental tests before work can begin. But because the tests cannot be done properly, government environmental advisers may not approve them. The 19-hectare shipyard is owned by Cheoy Lee, which has begun a battle for compensation for the loss of shore and seabed which the Government is reclaiming. The Government has been unable to get permission from the firm to conduct tests on the site. Road and rail projects and a water recreation centre will be built on land next to Disneyland, due to open in 2005. Contamination at the shipyard is included in an environmental impact assessment under the "Northshore Lantau Feasibility Study", which will study development in the area, including Disneyland. A study of the combined environmental impact of the theme park and related developments, including the recreation centre, is also under way. The two studies have to be completed next month for submission to the Environmental Protection Department and the Advisory Council on the Environment for endorsement. The reports will be subject to a two-month public consultation before reclamation can start in May. The reclaimed site is scheduled to be handed to Disney by the end of 2002. But a Civil Engineering Department spokeswoman said: "We can enter the shipyard to have a look but we cannot conduct any site assessment at this stage. The contamination assessment can only be done visually." Tourism Commissioner Mike Rowse has warned that the joint venture running the Disneyland project can claim compensation if work is delayed by more than three months. Assistant director of Friends of the Earth and advisory council member Plato Yip Kwong-to said: "How can you do the study visually? The assessment is a science. This is unacceptable." Council chairman Peter Wong Hong-yuen said: "I cannot tell at this stage whether a visual assessment is acceptable. But I wonder how you can visually check if there are chemicals underground." The shipyard operator, which declined to comment, will be asked to hand over its land after Exco endorses the outline zoning plan for Northshore Lantau gazetted on August 12 last year. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Published in the South China Morning Post. |

Rendezvous
at the Yards 12/5/99 I suppose you have heard that the Cheoy Lee yard on Lantau ( where my boat was built ) is due to close within the next 12 months or so to make way for the Disney Theme park. All new production is to be transferred to a yard in China as such they are currently running down the production. So I feel a visit to the yard before this happens would be appropriate and especially before the new year, (dare I say the next millennium) so having talked this over with Jonathan Cannon we have obtained approval for a final yard visit for Cheoy Lee Owners on Saturday 18th December. I will be leading a group of Cheoy Lee yachts on my CL Perry 35' to rendezvous at the yard to pay final respects for their craftsmanship and dedication to service over all these years. I think it will be the first such visit by my yacht in over 20 since she was built there! Of particular interest to me will be the foundry, as I understand that this is one of the very few yards in Asia where in addition to making the hulls and fitting them out, actually made their own hardware & fittings. Casting bronze & Stainless Steel on site (some say from reconstituted s/s cutlery courtesy of Cathay Pacific Airways) Jonathon tell me that their is not much going on nowadays as the yard is only working on two power cruisers and the site will soon be vacated to make room for development so that why we must go now. Anyhow if you wish to put this bit of info on the web page in case any Cheoy Lee owners are passing through HK I'm sure they will be welcome to crew on any of the boats going to Lantau on that day. I will of course be notifying all Cheoy Lee owners within Hong Kong of this visit and try to make this a memorable event. I will of course be taking as many pics as I can and will forward them to you for your records. Best Regards Wayne Robinson |
